    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 17: in which I discuss the relevance of bgc to the modern world …

    You know, I don’t think you’re ever prepared to see Saturn’s return. Every 25 years or so, everything sort of returns to its default setting, and you have to deal with the shit you hadn’t or have been avoiding or didn’t even realize you were struggling with. My 25th year of life was 2009, but…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 16: in which I have a favorite blade runner reference …

    Oooooh ooooh ooooh, I know I just mentioned that I forgot what today’s challenge was, but now I’m excited! Because I absolutely love this topic. Blade Runner to this day remains one of my favorite movies, even if it is incredibly problematic (see: Rachel and Deckard’s relationship). I regularly listen to Vangelis’ soundtrack, and I…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 15: in which I have a favorite fight scene …

    So I missed yesterday for school reasons – that care plan wasn’t going to write itself, and it was a doozy – but I’ll be making that up today. Now, it’s way easier to show you rather than tell you what my favorite fight scene is, but after the video, I’ll discuss it a little…

    Gah, barely got this in before my self-imposed deadline! Surprisingly, there are not as many Boomers in BGC as there are in the reboot – a part of it is that it’s only 8 episodes long, while the reboot has 26 – but I feel like they have way more personality than they would otherwise.…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 13: in which I compare the original to the reboot …

    Like I said back on Day 1, I was actually introduced to Bubblegum Crisis via its remake, Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, and I have to say, it’s difficult to compare the two. The original has similar styling to Miami Vice: colorful and candy-coated exterior with a pessimistic center, almost like a game of whack-a-mole. No…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 12: in which I have a least favorite secondary/one-shot character …

    You know how I kinda shit on “Blow Up” because it was basically a more boring “Born to Kill?” I don’t think I used those exact words, but I kind of wish I had. Oh, well. What’s done is done. Regardless, my least favorite secondary character is very similar, in that they wanted to recreate…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 11: in which I have a favorite secondary/one-shot character …

    Despite only being eight episodes long, Bubblegum Crisis has enough one-shot characters to satisfy literally anyone. You’ve got badass Boomers, friends, lovers, vengeful maniacs, and devilish CEOs. They’re all memorable for their own reasons; for example, Irene from “Born to Kill” is plucky and determined, more so than a lot of the victims of Boomer…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 10: in which I have a least favorite villain …

    Being that Bubblegum Crisis is only eight episodes long, there aren’t too many villains that grace the screen: Brian J. Mason, Largo, and Quincy are the three major ones. I don’t count the Boomers because they are more like tools as opposed to true villains, and since I already chose Mason as my favorite villain,…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 9: in which I have a favorite villain …

    So I have an exam today in … oh, like five hours, and I have to do some last-minute studying, but! I’m going to actually try to stay on top of these, despite school being a clusterfuck at the moment. This is the last week of my Christianity 102 class, so naturally, we have a…

    28 day bubblegum crisis challenge, day 8: in which I have a least favorite main character …

    The four women who make up the Knight Sabers aren’t necessarily stereotypes, but they do fit certain roles in the group: Sylia is the stoic leader, Priss is the hotheaded muscle, Linna is the graceful fighter, and Nene is the smart hacker. Even though they’re stronger together than apart, there’s a weak link who just…
